Lately we have had the opportunity to try a few restaurants in Tullahoma, and we have tried a couple of low profile places. Nicholas was one of these. This is a small, very plain restaurant that tries for a Greek theme. It does have Greek... More
Tremors Following Stroke. Movement disorders are conditions involving abnormal involuntary movements of a part of the body. These can occur due to several causes, and are uncommonly associated with stroke. A tremor may develop for the first time following a stroke, either immediately after it, or in a subacute manner. The tremor is usually caused by strokes due to small vessel disease of the brain, in the areas supplied by the middle or posterior cerebral arteries which include the basal ganglia. These structures are responsible for relaying and regulating voluntary muscle contraction, and impaired function can thus lead to tremor and other movement disorders.
Itâs likely caused by a disruption in normal brain function of the cerebellum, though researchers are not entirely sure what causes the interruption, if it is a degenerative process, or how it can be stopped. People with essential tremor often experience frequent shaking. The shaking is most common in the hands, arms, head, and vocal cords, and cannot be controlled. This shaking is most obvious when you try to use a muscle. When the muscle is relaxed, the shaking will likely not occur or it will become milder. By comparison, people with Parkinsonâs disease typically experience a hand tremor when their muscles are at rest and see a reduction in the tremor when their muscles are in use.
